Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m just wondering if the Minister, I know she was answering some questions from Ms. Bisaro about the deficits at the authorities. Yesterday I had asked for correspondence from the department to the authorities, whatever that correspondence is, on instructions on how to deal with deficit. I was hoping the Minister could perhaps give the committee copies of that correspondence. I’d like to see what the department is telling the authorities.

Come the end of March it’s going to be up close to $30 million in accrued deficits around the authorities. I mentioned to the Minister it was only 18 months ago that we had the Minister with this deficit-fighting plan and she came to committee and was parading that around like it was going to happen and it never saw the light of day. Given some of these extraordinary circumstances that are playing themselves out right now, we have to be very mindful of our budgets, especially at the authorities. I just wondered if maybe the Minister could talk a little bit about how it is we are going to mitigate the deficits at the authorities. I’d appreciate that response.
